If you're using a hormonal IUD then yes, it can cause irregular bleeds. As hormonal Birth Control stops your menstrual cycles in order to stop ovulation it can stop menstruation, instead you can experience withdrawal bleeds and it is normal for these to be a little irregular.

Is it normal to have a long period while using and IUD as a birth control?

Yes, the copper IUD (intrauterine device), brand-named Paragard in the US, can cause irregular periods, heavier periods and increased cramps. These side effects are more common in the first six months after the IUD is inserted. The Mirena IUD, which contains levonorgestrel, may cause irregular periods in the first months of use, but over time you can expect fewer periods and less bleeding.

When do you get your period after stopping the IUD?

If you're stopping the non-hormonal IUD, like Paragard, you'll get your period on your usual schedule.

If you had irregular periods before using the IUD, you'll probably return to your previous irregularity.

Does the IUD regulate your periods?

No, the IUD does not "regulate your period." The Paragard IUD may make your period a bit heavier and crampier, but it's nonhormonal and does not alter the timing of your period. The Mirena IUD is hormonal. Irregular bleeding or spotting can happen in the first few months of use, after which women on Mirena don't usually have bleeding.

Regular periods till now. Spotting no period with IUD?

The Mirena can cause periods to stop, it releases a low level of synthetic progesterone. A copper IUD may cause periods to stop, but doesn't generally have this effect soon after placement. Depending on the type of IUD and the length of time it has been in place - you may want to check in with the doctor who placed it to see if you need a pregnancy test. Generally if an IUD is going to fail it does so in the first 3 months.


Can your period stop with an IUD?

If you're using Mirena, the IUD that releases progestin, your period usually will stop, although you may have irregular spotting in the first weeks or months of use. If you're using the copper IUD, your periods will not stop. If your period has been regular since using the IUD, and then stopped, take a pregnancy test.
